Powerpc allows for multiple CPUs to patch concurrently. When patching
with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX a single patching_mm is allocated for use by all
CPUs for the few times that patching occurs. Use a spinlock to protect
the patching_mm from concurrent use.
Modify patch_instruction() to acquire the lock, perform the patch op,
and then release the lock.
Also introduce {lock,unlock}_patching() along with
patch_instruction_unlocked() to avoid per-iteration lock overhead when
patch_instruction() is called in a loop. A follow-up patch converts some
uses of patch_instruction() to use patch_instruction_unlocked() instead.
